At the meeting, the two leaders shared experiences in air quality management, building carbon markets and responding to climate change.
According to Deputy Minister Guo Fang, air and environmental pollution are inevitable in the country's industrialisation process.
Minister of Agriculture and Environment Do Duc Duy highly appreciated China's efforts in improving air quality, especially in large cities. The Minister was particularly impressed with the solution of using remote sensing technology to monitor air pollution density.
Minister Do Duc Duy commented that in the energy transition process, participating in green finance will create momentum for the country and businesses. The Minister informed that Vietnam is gradually perfecting the legal framework, proactively participating in multilateral cooperation mechanisms, and focusing on controlling CO2 emissions.
In the field of carbon markets, Vietnam is particularly interested in China's experience in organising and operating the national carbon market, and wishes to establish a specialised cooperation channel to learn and gradually implement effectively in Vietnam.
Along with that, at the P4G Summit, the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment wishes to cooperate with China in responding to climate change by sharing information and policies related to goals, roadmaps and solutions to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
An important direction of cooperation is to jointly research and compare current legal frameworks and regulations, analyse strengths and weaknesses of each country's greenhouse gas management systems, and to learn and improve together.
Minister Do Duc Duy emphasised that Vietnam supports international conventions and will work with the governments of other countries to spread national contributions to global sustainable development goals.
